The Bison team is happy to announce the release on Bison 2.6.3, a bug-fix release.
Here are the compressed sources: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bison/bison-2.6.3.tar.gz (3.1MB) ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bison/bison-2.6.3.tar.xz (1.7MB) Here are the GPG detached signatures[*]: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bison/bison-2.6.3.tar.gz.sig ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bison/bison-2.6.3.tar.xz.sig Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth: http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html [*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify bison-2.6.3.tar.gz.sig If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it: gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 0DDCAA3278D5264E and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command. This release was bootstrapped with the following tools: Autoconf 2.69 Automake 1.12.4 Flex 2.5.37 Gettext 0.18.1 Gnulib v0.0-7675-gd245e6d NEWS * Noteworthy changes in release 2.6.3 (2012-10-22) [stable] ** Bug fixes Bugs and portability issues in the test suite have been fixed. Some errors in translations have been addressed, and --help now directs users to the appropriate place to report them. Stray Info files shipped by accident are removed. Incorrect definitions of YY_, issued by yacc.c when no parser header is generated, are removed. All the generated headers are self-contained. ** Header guards (yacc.c, glr.c, glr.cc) In order to avoid collisions, the header guards are now YY_<PREFIX>_<FILE>_INCLUDED, instead of merely <PREFIX>_<FILE>. For instance the header generated from %define api.prefix "calc" %defines "lib/parse.h" will use YY_CALC_LIB_PARSE_H_INCLUDED as guard. ** Fix compiler warnings in the generated parser (yacc.c, glr.c) The compilation of pure parsers (%define api.pure) can trigger GCC warnings such as: input.c: In function 'yyparse': input.c:1503:12: warning: 'yylval' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] *++yyvsp = yylval; ^ This is now fixed; pragmas to avoid these warnings are no longer needed. Warnings from clang ("equality comparison with extraneous parentheses" and "function declared 'noreturn' should not return") have also been addressed. _______________________________________________ help-bison@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-bison
